FAQs Raw Data Tool
May I set up the raw data tool to track without consent?
Technology can allow you to track without consent for any tool you have configured. Legally, you must advise your DPO, CEO or anyone responsible for your company´s legal policies and actions about the risks and rules in regard to tracking without consent.
Raw Data export does not contain a consent value / shows empty string?
The data with empty value describes users that have not interacted with the CMP but JENTIS is not blocked at the same time (so the decision on the consent is pending). Possibly the users have a blocker addon in the browser that stops the CMP from operating but not the JENTIS DCP. If the Raw Data Tools vendor is configured to “No Consent” it will activate for each signal (purchase event) and hence also activate when no-consent mode requires active decision.
What format are raw data file exports available in?
Raw Data Export is only available as an archived CSV or JSON File at this time. As the Raw Data API is in development, no other format of export can be prioritized over it.
One suggested workaround to unarchive CSV files is :

Is it possible to simply use tags to set which data is collected and is this then stored on a server by you on a daily basis? If so, how do we get access to the data and can we query it automatically via an API interface?
It is not possible to simply use tags and store data, which can be regarded as “raw” on our server. We are currently developing the Raw Data API with customization options. Please check the release notes by JENTIS for updates.
How can I access the FTP server on which my raw data is stored?
You should use the host name ftp.jentis.com to access the server where the raw data by our clients is stored. However, you will need to contact JENTIS Support to be sent credentials to log in and access your FTP server. Please specify the accounts and containers you need this access/ setup for. Please note that access may be denied or restricted based on the current security policy of our dev team and your configuration. Once your access has been granted, you can use apps such as WinSCP to log into your FTP server.
